Just a few miles west of Maple Grove and right on the border of the great Minneapolis area is the community of Corcoran. This is considered as a first-ring suburb of Minneapolis, and as such offers the feeling of small town living with the proximity of a big city. Corcoran is a fast growing community for those very reasons. When asked what they like about the town, residents said they were happy with the schools, they liked the open spaces and they were thrilled with the new growth and development they see happening in the area. Because Corcoran is situated so close to Minneapolis, there are several centerpieces for life. If you are a sports enthusiast, the Minnesota Vikings, Timberwolves, or Twins are always in action. Minneapolis has much to offer in the way of culture and is full of museums and theatres. If shopping is your bag, then look no further! The Mall of America continues to be America's number one tour destination as folks from all over the United States pay tribute to this mall of all malls. Boasting over 525 specialty shops, 4 national department stores, an aquarium, bowling allies, and over 50 restaurants, you can truly shop till you drop. If that is not enough for you, then be sure to pick up tickets for Camp Snoopy, the indoor amusement park right inside the mall! While there you can ride the roller coasters, play games, eat cotton candy and meet Snoopy and the entire Peanuts gang. Locally there are the stores at Maple Grove, many new retail stores have opened there in the last few years and some malls offering specialty shopping are available too. So, if you need to pop in and find that perfect last-minute gift, these are the stores for you to check out! In the winter months, Corcoran offers cross-country skiing and other winter recreational activities. The cross-country trails may take you through wooded areas, open prairie, or active recreation areas. There are many lakes in the area, which offer public access for boating and swimming. The state of Minnesota boasts an outstanding park system. There are several state and metro parks that are great for those who enjoy the outdoors. Come relax in a quiet cabin on any one of our 10,000 lakes. There are miles and miles of trails for ATV, bikes, or hikers. There are a few National Parks that offer rugged beauty combined with excellent wildlife viewing opportunities. If this wets your appetite for more outdoor adventure, the Boundary Waters Canoe Area is just a few hours to the north and can be explored for days without seeing anything twice.
